2 Claims.

This invention relates to a device for supplying a fuel mixture to an internal combustion engine. More particularly, the invention relates to a device for reclaiming fuel ordinarily wasted in an internal combustion engine, and for improving the mixture of vaporous fuel constituents.

The principal object of the invention is the provision of a simple and effectual device for producing an economical and enriched explosive fuel mixture and for delivering the same to an internal combustion engine. I

The nature of the invention and its distinguishing features and advantages will appear when the following specification is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, in

which:

Fig. 1 is a side view of an internal combustion engine selected to illustrate the device of the present invention applied thereto.

n Fig. 2 is a top view of the fuel regulating and improving means.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged section taken approximately on the line 33 of Fig. 2 and looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

a Fig. 4 is a view of the control valve and connections; and v Fig. 5 is a detail section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2 and looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

30 In the drawing there is shown an internal combustion engine i0 having a down draft carburetor H which is connected with a dual intake I! communicating with two sets of ports of the engine cy nders. In accordance with the in- I vention, a metal body l3 in the form of a gasket is connected in the intake i2, and is held in position by any suitable means such as the bolts I4.

A plate is held in fixed position by the bolts II in contact with the upper surface of the gasket 46 I3. The plate. i5has two groups of holes l6 therein which register with passages l'l respectively, in the gasket. Discs l8 are joined'to each other as at l3 to move in unison; and are disposed beneath the plate l5. Suitable connecting eledl ments carried bythe discs l8 enter slots 2l' respectively, in the plate l5, whereby the discs 24 with a depending lug 25 on one of the discs l8. It will now be understood that the fuel mixture consisting of air and gasoline vapor passes from the carburetor ll into the intake I2 and thru the holes I6 and 22 causing a turbulence-of 6 the mixture according to the adjustment of the discs l8. As a consequence, the fuel mixture leaving the carriage will be effectually agitated, thereby improving the fuel mixture by comminuting the particles.

In accordance with another feature of the invention, means is provided for reclaiming vaporizecl fuel which passes into the crank case of the engine from the cylinders thereof due to faulty piston rings. The means consist of a conduit 15 having one end thereof in communication with the breather tube 3| and its other end being connected with the gasket l3 as at 32, said end of the conduit 30 being in communication with an. outlet port 33 in the gasket which discharges into 20 the passages IT. A control valve 34 of the rotary plug type is connected in the conduit 30. The plug 35 of the valve is connected with the operating connections 36 of the accelerator of the engine. The accelerator thru the intervention 25 of the connections 36 operates the throttle valve of the carburetor l I. It will therefore be under. stood that when the accelerator is operated, the valve 34 will be opened proportionately thereby admitting various amounts of the reclaimed fuel 30 passing from the crank case into the breather tube 3| and thru the conduit 30 to the passages ll directly beneath the discs i8. This reclaimed fuel will be comingled with the fuel mixture in 7 its turbulent state, thereby adding to the mixture 35 explosive fuel vapors which would ordinarily be wasted and so achieving an economic advantage.

In accordance with another feature of the invention, the conduit 30 between the breather tube- 3| and the valve 34 embodies a coil 31 which surrounds the exhaust manifold 38 of the engine. By reason of the coil .31 the reclaimed fuel will be preheated on its way to the intake, thereby improving the fuel mixture as an explosive agent.

What is claimed as new is:

1. A device of the character described comprising a body member adapted for'atta'chment- I to an intake manifold, said body member having -a central opening therein, a plate carried by said body member and having a plurality of perforations disposed above said central opening, a pair' of discs disposed beneath said plate within said central opening, said discs being united for movement in unison and having a. series of openings 56' capable of alignment with the perforations in said plate, means for slidably connecting said discs with said plate, and means carried by said body member having'engagement with one of said discs for adjusting said discs relative to said plate. I

2. A device of the character described comprising a body member adapted for attachment to an intake manifold, said body member having a central opening therein, a plate carried by said body member and having a plurality of perforations disposed above said central opening, a pair 0! discs disposed beneath said plate within said central opening, said discs being united for movement in unison and having a series oi! openings capable of alignment with the perforations in said plate, means for slidably connecting said discs with said plate, and means for adjusting said discs relative to said plate, said means inbinding a threaded member disposed in a side wall of said body member and extending beyond the same, one end of said threaded member being disposed in a depending lug formed on one of said discs whereby transverse movement of said threaded member will actuate said discs to adjust the relation of said alignable openings.
